Lean Start Up: #2 - Entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs are everywhere-Ries’ definition of a startup: Human institution is designed to create something (deliver a new product or service) under conditions of extreme uncertainly—uncertainty about the customer, his/her wants, and about sustainability.

- Nothing to do with size of the company, the sector of the economy, or the industry genre.- Entrepreneur is a career, a calling.- Startup is an experiment.--Science of entrepreneurship.--Stop wasting people’s time!--Waste: Building things that no one wants.-Success: Which companies live up to their aspirations, dreams, plan, talent, energy of founders, investors and employees?- All of us lack a theory of entrepreneurship- It’s not can it be built, but should it be built. Software—we can build anything we can imagine—but should it be built?- AND can we build a sustainable business around the product?- GDP will be built in the future on the quality of our collective imaginations.
